Oh yes and for the love of Pinterest!

Ahh, I have forgotten to add my Pinterest projects I have tried!

For Debs party I created some stick canisters to keep with the LumberJack and Jill theme.  If you follow me on Pinterest, you'll find these under my "Green Crafts" board.  They were really quite simple, the only time consuming parts were collecting the sticks, breaking them to size of container, but its great because the random size made them look charming, and gluing them on.  They stayed together well at home and I meant to tie them with raffia, just ran out of time to go to the craft store.  Note, if you make them and intend to travel with them, tie the raffia or some type of ribbon around them.  2 out of 3 made it.  The third pulled out of the bag with most of the sticks glued together to look like a raft and there was my can. ; / 

Tonight I made the ranch taco meat for dinner. Most of the recipes you see will call for chicken - I was out but had some frozen pork roasts, so carnitas is what it became.  Super easy- I cooked the roast in the crock pot, about 12 oz water with some cracked sea salt and garlic to taste and about 2 teaspoons cumin.  Once cooked (about 3 hours later) I added one packed of dry ranch seasoning and 1 packet of taco seasoning.  The recipe said to cook about 30 mins +, well we went to the park and then Publix and ate afterwards, so they simmered on low for about 2 more hours. Super delish and easy!  Jason enjoyed them and if you're watching your weight these are tasty and satisfying (the sodium content may be an issue). I'm looking forward to my leftovers for lunch!


I'll keep you posted as further projects are created!
